Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature
information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not
required.
Prerequisites for QoS
Before configuring standard QoS, you must have a thorough understanding of these items:
•
The types of applications used and the traffic patterns on your network.
•
Traffic characteristics and needs of your network. For example, is the traffic on your network bursty?
Do you need to reserve bandwidth for voice and video streams?
•
Bandwidth requirements and speed of the network.
